Edukid - Education for a Brighter Future

Edukid is a UK registered charity that helps to remove the barriers to education faced by children living in poverty and conflict. Edukid believes all children have the right to attend school and that education is a long-term solution to enabling communities to break out of their cycle of poverty Since 2003 Edukid has been a platform for hope, equal rights, opportunity and inclusive education. We currently support over 3000 children living in poverty in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and South America. We have three main goals: -To provide education to children who live in chronic poverty. We support students from primary school all the way up to university and vocational training. -To break down the barriers to education that these children face. This is done by working with local communities to find sustainable models of addressing the issues children face. -To educate and empower UK students to explore their roles as Global Citizens Edukid avoids imposing ‘western ideals’ by partnering with local people and organisations, who live and work closely with the communities we support. This helps us to develop projects born out of their deeper cultural understanding of what is needed and likely to be effective.
